HOLA...

A looong time ago, in a country not so far away… called Spain, a beautiful team found themselves in the interesting city of Villanueva de la Vera. They were very excited to work with people, and do Open Air-Evangelism and Kids Clubs, and stuff like that… but the real truth they found was: Figs and Tomatoes.

There wasn’t an Open Air or a Kids Club… but it wasn’t bad, in fact, it was very fun. There was also something else like, a video that we made about the area, and an English Café. At the café we talked with many people (in English of course), and we made good relationships with them. In the beginning we didn’t know if we could share the gospel, but in the end (like, the night before we left), we did share about the bible and our faith with one guy we met at the English Café.

It was very WOW how the people were very interested in our travels, and not just people from the English Café, but also from the hostel we stayed in (yes, we stayed in a hostel, but just for one night ). Well, they are right, a normal person would not travel in a van with 7 people for 5 months, and that is helpful when talking with people, it starts conversation. Maybe we will not share the gospel with everyone, but we can say that we are Christians, and that we are helping churches in different countries because we believe that God wants this. That is very small, but it plants a seed, and God will work in that.

After Villanueva de la Vera, we were one week in Algeciras. We cleaned a church and a warehouse, and we helped with an English Café. In Algeciras we had the opportunity to perform Open-Airs, but the only problem with this was how we can present the gospel, because was MANY muslims from Morocco (around one hour from Algeciras until there) and was not easy. Making strategies, plans, etc, and asking what to say and what no. We did two Open Airs in the Plaza Alta, and there were a LOT of people that saw us and heard what we had to say. Quite a lot of them spoke with people from the church. There were very good conversations after the first Open Air, so for the second we decided to share something more evangelistic, something more direct… and the people received this very well, and it led to very good conversations.

This made us think that one of our purposes is share the love of God, inclusive in this places. Just was two days of Open Airs, but was something very important for the area (long time ago that nobody do Open Airs or something like that) and we could see in how the people react to this. Othe little seed, but we know that God is working in that area.

Now, in this exactly moment, we are in France passing the night. Tomorrow we go to Italy and (again) we don’t know exactly what we will do, but after all this things, we just trust in God. Anyway, from Algeciras to Italy are two days and a half, quite tired, but funny.
